Hi Beth,
Your email address was removed from your post so I cannot contact you directly I am glad you are feeling better.

My sister and I were separated from our mother in 1950, and shortly after that we lost contact with her. I am trying to locate or find information about our Mom. Based on my birth certificate, she was born in Los Angeles around 1927. Her name is Mary Patricia Davis, though I believe she went by Patricia. Based on the few pictures I have of her, she has red hair. The only Mary P. Davis I could find was born on June 16, 1927 to Theodore Joseph Davis and May Olive Howe and is the third child. The 1930 census has Theodore Jr, Doris Anita and Mary Patricia as siblings of Theodore and May. Do you have a sister name Mary or do I have bad information? I wish no awkwardness to my Mother if she started over with a new life. But it’s important to me to find her or find out about her.

I tried to PM you, but I must be doing something wrong. Can you try to PM me so we can exchange email addresses.

Sending a PM is easy... simply look at the bottom of the person's post for the "PM" button, click on that and an email-type of form is the next page. Fill in the spaces, click on Submit, and the message is sent internally.

If the recipient has Notifications turned on, they will receive an email telling them there is a pM waiting for them. All they need to do anyway is to Log In, click on the link that says "You have messages", read your message and if necessary respond to you in the same way.

We restrict email addresses here for a VERY good reason - SPAM. I will not allow this Index to be a source of that dreaded garbage for any reason. PM's here work just fine - I have received several of them myself.

I am also a descendant of Thomas Howe & Ann Risden. The Howes were Printers on St. Kitts.
My line is from their son George Howe b.1769. George went to London 1790 & worked for various newspapers. In 1799 George was arrested for shoplifting in Alcester. He was convicted and transported to Australia arriving in 1800.
In 1803 George started Australia's first newspaper The Sydney Gazette.
